fore he should commit himself to an ex-
press proposal.
We were an anxious household that
on September 5 awaited Benigsen's ar
rival. Edward had come home the day
before, and seeing the remarkable
hange in Charlotte and her manifest
flutter of shame and love, fear and hope,
he had looked around on us with the
open looks of discoverer, and exclaim-
ed, with seamanlike frankness and IT.
relevance, well, I'm blestw On the
5th it was evident that his sudden
discovery weighed upon him, and in a
moment of confidence he remarked to
me.
"She seems to like it; don't. hope
he won't come. was fool to ask him;
l should have seen his drift. l don't
believe he'll have any explanation to
give at all, except that absurd mesmer-
ism, clairyOyance, or something OF that
sortl"
Yet he set out to meet Benigsen at
the station, and in due course returned,
with him.
DR.. ArnOt was invited and came to
hear the promised explanation in the
evening. In the mean time Benigsen
had had private conference with
Charlotte, to receive from her own lips,
he said, the story of her dream. 1t is
probable that the story had been ac-
companied by something else from her
lips, for upon entering the drawing
room he beckoned Edward and me aside
and said he had our sisters permission
to inform us that if he gave a rational
explanation of the vision which still
haunted her, and if he could Danish it
from her, then in two months she would
listen to certain proposals of-of love
and so forth. Did we object? he asked.
No, we could not object.
did you propose the two months bar
gainp' / asked
81 did" he answered.
81 thought" said /, at did not look
like an arrangement Charlotte would
make"
'DO you think" said he, "she would
have herself proposed a longer time-a
harder bargain?"
"On the contrary" said 1; 81 think
she would not herself have proposed a
bargain at all"
He looked at me dOlefully, and we
turned for the explanation. He asked
us to accompany him to a room he had
been shown at his request-mother's
room.
Now" said he, with glance aside
at DIR. ArnOt, 81 do not deny the super
natural; / only say know nothing
about it. But l know little of the
natural:I think it. therefore. my duty.
